Sounds an easy solution, but there are some negatives including reducing the sensitivity to single wheel bumps, and of course rear wheel lift off in cornering. So it gets a bit more complex and requires really well balanced spring and damper rates. Also you really do need to get away from electronic TC and get back to a mechanical LSD. We are back to a set of compromises again, the nature of tuning suspensions.
Personally I sense this is where variable damper control comes into play, easier to do things electronically, than develop a more advanced passive system. Simply switch to the ride mode you fancy.
